Chapter 710: Surrender
Dengzhou Sailor Wharf, Li Xin looked at everything around, showing a trace of regret, now most of the boats are soaked in the water, and have not been effectively protected, some boats have become the homes of some fishermen, there are hundreds of sailors, but the equipment on the body is very simple, probably here to collect money.
"Your Majesty." The embarrassment on Qi Gongshun's face became even stronger.
"You're not wrong, you don't have much strength yourself, how can you raise a water master?" Li Xin shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, the people sent by General Qin Qiong have been waiting at the dock for a long time." At this time, Shen Qianqiu walked over with two soldiers and fell to the ground.
"The villain Gou Xiaosi (Jia Zhuang) pays a visit to Your Majesty."
When the two soldiers saw Li Xin, they quickly fell to the ground, their bodies trembling.
"Get up, get up." Li Xin laughed and said, "The fishy smell of your body knows that you have been waiting here for a long time, where is Qin Qiong now?" ”
"On Long Island." Gou Xiaosi hurriedly said.
"Where is it? That's a lot closer. Li Xin glanced at Qi Gongshun with a playful smile, Qi Gongshun's old face was even redder, Long Island is not far from Dengzhou, but there were some bandits in that place before, Qi Gongshun didn't care about that side, but now there are not only bandits, but also a huge number of "bandits", who can take their lives at any time.
"Your Majesty, are you heading to Long Island?" Chu Suiliang heard that Qin Qiong was really on Long Island, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly urged.
"Don't worry, I still have to wait here for Li Jiancheng." Li Xin waved his hand and said: "Li Yuan and his son thought that they had eaten me, and the four-way army attacked my Tang Dynasty, tsk, and they still wanted my life." I don't want to think about how my life can be so easy to come by. ”
Everyone couldn't help but feel sad for Li Yuan's father and son, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and spent countless forces to kill Li Xin, but it's a pity. People have been prepared for a long time, it seems that it is a mortal situation, but now it is to let the dragon return to the sea, where can I find it.
"Don't worry about being exposed now, hurry, go and let General Qin Qiong lead the water division to see you. Protecting His Majesty's safety is at stake. Chu Suiliang ignored Li Xin's words, and hurriedly said loudly to the two soldiers.
The two soldiers glanced at Li Xin and saw that Li Xin did not react. Knowing that it was already a tacit acquiescence, he quickly turned around and went into the sea, and after half a ring, he saw a fishing boat out of the Dengzhou Navy Division's camp.
"According to my request, the two of you went to search for people who were good at making warships in Dengzhou, and some warriors who knew how to make water, and saw that they all moved to Jiangnan. Li Jiancheng knew that I had left Shandong by sea, and he would definitely strengthen the construction of the Navy Division in the future. Hey. How can I cheapen them? Li Xin waved his hand and said.
"I'll do it." Shen Qianqiu and Ji Gang hurriedly responded.
Liu Lan looked at it clearly on the side, and sighed secretly in her heart. Li Xin has unpredictable abilities, I am afraid that he has already expected today's situation, so he will kill Beihai, the funny thing is that the world thinks that Li Xin is arrogant and has taken a mortal situation. I didn't expect the other party to use this method to get out. What is ridiculous is that Li Yuanxing mobilized the people, and hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded and blocked him for nearly two months. Even Li Xinmao was not caught, which is the most important thing.
Li Xin attaches great importance to the sailor, which can be seen from Qin Qiong's leadership of the brigade, the sailor can attack any place on Li Zhao's long border line, it can be said that Li Zhao will be everywhere in the future, the general trend of the world has actually been decided, and it must be Li Xin who finally conquers the world.
Liu Lan felt that she was still very lucky at this time, and she was able to find the real owner at the last moment. It's a pity that the other prominent families in Shandong are afraid that they will suffer a big loss.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid General Qin will still have some time to arrive, so it's better to go back to the city and rest for a while." Qi Gongshun stepped forward and persuaded him.
"No need, the camp is located here, Qiqing, you can let your family move over, the army will set off soon, your families and craftsmen will go first, you can go to Long Island to wait for us first." Li Xin waved his hand and said: "Dengzhou will not go in, tell Luo Shixin, according to the methods we used to do in various parts of Shandong, fight local tyrants, and divide the land." Even if Li Yuan gets Shandong, he won't be able to win the hearts of the people in Shandong, and when I come next year, it will be the time to seize Shandong. ”
Qi Gongshun's body trembled for a while, and then he remembered what Li Xin had done in Shandong. Li Xin troubled Shandong, and almost all the Shandong families south of the Yellow River were purged, because the direction in which Li Xin walked were relatively large cities, Yanzhou, Lujun, Gaoping, Beihai, etc., most of the families were concentrated here, it can be said that Li Xin ravaged most of Shandong, and most of the families were killed by Li Xin, and the land of those families was distributed to the common people.
Whether it is the Qi family or the Liu family, there is a lot of land in their hands now, Qi Gongshun thought about it, or didn't say anything, if he leaves Dengzhou now, the Qi family's field will probably be owned by Li Yuan. He and Liu Lan glanced at each other, but saw that Liu Lan was light-hearted, he thought about it carefully, and then remembered that although Liu Lan was born in the Beihai Wang clan, it was rumored that he was still a royal family of the former Han Dynasty, and it was because of his assistance that he had broken with the Liu family, and I am afraid that he didn't care about the affairs of the Liu family.
"The minister will go back and arrange his family." Liu Lan arched her hand and said.
"The minister will go back too." Qi Gongshun also followed and said.
"Okay." Li Xin nodded and said, "I am waiting for you here. ”
"The ministers are leaving." Qi Gongshun hurriedly turned around with Liu Lan and left.
"Your Majesty, is this guy going to tell Li Jiancheng about them!" Wei Chi said as he looked at the backs of the two leaving.
"What if it's a whistleblower? Can you still stop Your Majesty from going to Jiangnan? Chu Suiliang said disdainfully.
Li Xin nodded, but his gaze fell on a guard behind him, the soldier nodded, his figure unconsciously retreated a few steps, and soon disappeared into the army, as if he had never appeared.
"Brother Xian, I didn't expect you and me to turn around and return to Datang. It's unpredictable! Qi Gongshun and the two rode on their horses, followed by a few pro-soldiers and said.
"What I didn't expect was that His Majesty the Emperor had already prepared and ordered General Qin Qiong to wait on Long Island for a long time. Hehe, I thought that His Majesty the Emperor would definitely be blocked by Dengzhou, and then trapped in Dengzhou, speaking of which, I Liu Lan has no vision! Liu Lan also smiled bitterly.
"Yes! This time, Li Zhao was afraid that he had suffered a big loss, and he mobilized the people, and in the end, not only did he not stop His Majesty from saying anything, but he lost countless grains and grass. The entire Shandong family has been killed a lot, the foundation is shaken, although Shandong is now in the hands of Li Jiancheng, but it will fall into the hands of His Majesty in the near future. Qi Gongshun shook his head and said.
"Let's go! Don't keep Your Majesty waiting. Liu Lan nodded.
"Brother Xian, I am ready to disband all the soldiers and horses under my command, Your Majesty will go down to the south of the Yangtze River, I'm afraid I won't lead the troops in the future, these soldiers are in Shandong, Li Yuanji will be revenged, we betrayed him, we can go, but the generals and soldiers under him may be the target of his revenge, it is better to disband them on the spot and let them go home!" Qi Gongshun thought for a while and said.
"This, why don't the generals let them fall into the grass, the generals are knowledgeable for these generals and soldiers, Your Majesty will definitely conquer Shandong in the coming year, the generals can let them lurk, so that when the time comes, the generals can not think about themselves, but also for the three sons, the Tang Dynasty's military exploits can be crowned marquis, I heard that the Pei family has three princes and one marquis, why can't the general have one door and four marquis? The major general followed His Majesty to conquer Shandong one day, and with the means left by the general, it was enough to seal the marquis. ”
"Thank you, sir, for the reminder. The old man almost forgot. Qi Gongshun suddenly realized that he couldn't go back to Shandong, so he could let his son come back, gather the old department, seize Beihai County, and let his son be a marquis.
"General, please." Liu Lan also nodded with a smile, one fence and three piles, since he returned to the Tang Dynasty, Liu Lan also needed to find allies in the court, and Qi Gongshun, who he had assisted, was undoubtedly a good choice.
At that time, after Qi Gongshun returned to Dengzhou, he immediately summoned the generals under his command, and after seeing the news of his submission to Li Xin, he took advantage of his family's assets and distributed the assets in his hands to the generals and soldiers.
When Li Xin learned about it, he just smiled and said: "This idea must have been said by Liu Lan, dismiss these soldiers, and give them great grace before leaving, when our army comes in the future, these soldiers will definitely join us and help us quickly occupy Beihai County, and even affect the entire Shandong." ”
"Lord Qi is thinking about his three sons, I heard that Lord Qi's three sons, the eldest son Qi Yanfei and Qi Yanshan are brave and resolute, Qi Yancheng is both civil and military, and Lord Qi is left behind at this time, I'm afraid he wants to be a four-marquis!" Chu Suiliang said with a smile on the side.
"Well, in that case, when he goes to Shandong next year, let his three brothers be the pioneers!" After Li Xin heard this, he said with a smile: "Shandong has nothing to stay in, Chu Qing, you said that when I was trapped in Shandong, were the people of the world laughing at me?" ”
"This? Your Majesty is wise and martial, how can there be times when you do something wrong. Chu Suiliang said with some embarrassment.
"The emperor also has times when he makes mistakes, remember, Chu Qing, no one is perfect, and the emperor is also a human being." Li Xin shook his head and said: "Being a courtier is not only to do things for the emperor, but more importantly, to persuade the Son of Heaven and not let the Son of Heaven make mistakes." ”
"I understand." Chu Sui sighed in his conscience, in fact, emperors can make mistakes, but some emperors can accept the persuasion of their courtiers, but what about most emperors? Chu Suiliang shook his head in his heart. (To be continued......)
